Corneal Inlay
A corneal inlay is a tiny device, smaller than the width of an eraser tip. A laser is used to cut a tiny pocket or flap in the centre of the cornea of the non-dominant eye during a 10- to 15-minute procedure. Depending on the inlay being used, it is then put into or beneath […]
Trichiasis
Trichiasis is a common problem with the eyelids. Eyelashes grow inward. The lashes rub against the cornea, the conjunctiva, and the inner surface of the eyelids. This irritates the eye. Trichiasis can occur occasionally with no known cause. Trichiasis can strike anyone, however, adults are more prone to it. Trichiasis is more likely to occur if […]
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Children under the age of 16 are more vulnerable to the inflammatory joint disease known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). JIA is an autoimmune disease. In JIA, white blood cells assault the body’s healthy joints (the cells that normally fight disease). The joints get inflamed as a result. It can make walking difficult. Other typical […]
Interferons
Your body contains proteins called interferons. They are created by your body’s immunological system. The way interferon drugs operate is by enhancing your immune system. They combat diseases like cancer, bacteria, and viruses. Hepatitis C, hepatitis B, human papillomavirus (HPV) health issues, multiple sclerosis (MS), melanoma and other malignancies, AIDS-related Kaposi’s sarcoma, and some types […]
Hyphaema
Blood accumulating inside the front of the eye is known as a hyphema. This occurs between the iris (the coloured part of the eye) and the cornea (the transparent window with a dome shape at the front of the eye). The iris and pupil may be partially or completely covered in blood (the round, dark circle […]
Cornea laceration
The cornea is the eye’s crystal-clear front window. A cut on the cornea is known as a corneal laceration. Usually, it is brought on by something sharp flying into the eye. Another factor that can trigger it is a strong object, such a metallic hand tool, impacting the eye. A corneal laceration, which can partially […]
Sickle Cell Retinopathy
A series of blood abnormalities that result in the breakdown and misformation of red blood cells, is sickle cell disease. Sickle cell retinpathy occurs when the sickle shaped red blood cells obstructs the blood arteries in the choroid, a thin layer of tissue that is a portion of the middle layer of the wall of […]
Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction
Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction refers to the obstruction to the passage of tears since birth. The tears that are produced in the eye are often emptied through a tube and into the nose. However, in this circumstance, this tube becomes blocked, which results in eye-watering. About 2–4% of all newborn babies exhibit this. The block may […]
Coloboma
A coloboma in the eye is known as the region where tissue is missing. A person’s eye has colobomas when they are born. One or both of your eyes may be affected. The colobomas that are most well-known and frequent impact the iris (the colored tissue of the eye) and give your pupil a keyhole […]
Black Eye
The term “black eye” refers to bruising around the eye caused by a head or face injury. Blood and other fluids build up in the area around the eye, resulting in tissue swelling and dark bruises. The skin surrounding the eye, which is very loose, is one of the first areas to enlarge as fluid […]
